Prompts for DeepSeek: explicit format and tests

Templates for engineering tasks: specs, implementations, and test-driven outputs.

What changes with this model

Even if prompt structure is similar, each model has biases: some follow strict instructions better, some are more creative, and some need examples. These templates are designed to reduce ambiguity and improve consistency.

Recommendation: define output format (ideally with a checklist), add constraints, and if you need precision, use few-shot or require strict JSON.

FAQ
Why insist on tests?
It forces the solution to be verifiable. Without tests, you get plausible but brittle code.
